  • 9 Things You're Secretly Worried About Before Your Next Interview

    Should you wear your braids? Can you show up pregnant without telling them? Is your accent or age going to work against you? And is that iced coffee in your hand about to make the wrong impression?

    These are the questions people worry about before interviews but don’t always feel comfortable asking out loud. And while you’ll find plenty of advice about what to say and how to sell yourself, not enough people talk honestly about the very real concerns of image and appearance.

    In this episode, I’m answering nine of those questions with the honest, no-fluff advice you need to walk into your next interview feeling more confident and prepared, without overthinking every little thing about how you show up.

    Because there’s a difference between putting your best foot forward and feeling like you have to change who you are to get the job.

  • She Landed a Remote Job in Portugal, Here’s How She Did It

    You know you’ve outgrown your role, but the idea of starting a job search feels exhausting, especially when you’re expecting it to take months.

    My client thought the same thing. She gave her notice, planned to take the summer off, and assumed she’d have plenty of time to figure out her next move.

    Instead, she landed a remote role in Portugal in just three weeks and got a $40,000 salary increase.

    So what happened? What did she do differently that made the right opportunity come together so quickly?

    In this episode, I’m sharing her story and the career move that changed what was possible for her so that you can apply it to your job search too.

  • Your Company Wants You Back in the Office. Here's What to Do Next.

    Your company wants everyone back in the office, and now you're wondering what this means for your job, your flexibility, and the life you've built around working remotely.

    Do you push back? Start looking for another job? Or give it a chance and see what happens? Before you make any decisions, there are a few things you need to figure out first.

    In this episode, I'm breaking down what to do when your company announces a return-to-office (RTO) policy, how to decide whether it's something you can work with, and how to approach your next move without jeopardizing the career you've worked so hard to build.

  • Want a Remote Job? Do This Before You Accept the Job Offer.

    You finally got the job offer. But, there’s just one thing you wish you could change: you want to work remotely.

    Now you’re wondering… Can I actually ask for that? What if they say no? What if asking makes them rethink the offer?

    Before you accept the job, there’s a smart way to approach that conversation. In this episode, I’m breaking down how to negotiate remote work or a hybrid schedule without risking the offer, what you need to figure out before you ask, and how to make a stronger case for the way you want to work.

    Because now that you've gotten the offer, the right conversation can make sure the job works for your life, too.

  • You’ll Get Hired for a Remote Job Before the End of 2026, If You Follow This Plan

    You know you want a remote job. You know what kind of role you want. Now comes the part that actually gets you hired.

    And no, this episode is not a list of the best remote job boards. Because finding remote jobs isn’t the hard part. Getting the right company to choose you is.

    In this episode, I’m breaking down the smarter way to search for a remote role, including what to actual write in the search bar, what your resume needs to include, the one extra question hiring managers are wondering about you in interviews when you're going after a remote job and so much more to help you turn the opportunity into an offer letter.

    If you’re serious about landing a remote job in the next three months, you need a job search strategy that goes beyond clicking “Easy Apply.” This will help, press play.

  • Your Next Remote Job Could Call You Into The Office, If You Miss This.

    You found a remote job you're interested in, but how do you really know they're going to let you work remotely?

    Because a company can say a role is remote without being truly built for remote work. And the last thing you want is to accept the job, settle into your new life, and six months later get the email: We’re changing our policy. Everyone needs to come into the office.

    In this episode, I’m breaking down how to tell the difference between a company that allows remote work and one that is actually built for it so you can spot the signs before you accept the offer, not after.

    Because finding a remote job is one thing, finding one that actually stays remote is another. Press play to learn the difference.

  • Your Remote Job Won't Make You Happy, If You Miss This

    A remote job can give you the freedom you want… and still leave you in a role that drains you, limits your growth, or simply isn't right for where you are now.

    In this episode, I’m helping you figure out what you actually need from your next role before you get distracted by the words “fully remote” on a job posting. And, how to know which kind of remote opportunity is actually the right move for your career.

    Because the wrong job with a great schedule is still the wrong job.

  • This is Why You Keep Talking Yourself Out of Your Next Role

    What if the reason you haven't gotten your next role has less to do with your qualifications and more to do with what you're telling yourself?

    What if those thoughts are quietly making decisions about your career for you, keeping you playing small and limiting your potential?

    In this episode, I'm breaking down what I call "Default Doubts" and how they can keep even highly accomplished people from going after what they actually want next + how to recognize the one that's been running your career without even realizing it.
